  As an occasional windows user I was trying to come up with a counter-example for you but I couldn’t think of one lol.

    I found it easier to search for settings that are supported by it. It tends to catch things even if the wording you use isn’t the exact name of the setting. The Windows search to bring up the control panel options from before they implemented the Settings app search has never really been reliable unless you recall what it’s actually called.

      Agreed. The new settings window is a vast improvement over the classic control panel. It’s about the only place search is good in Windows.
